Cory says it was ‘awesome’ getting to ditch Ms. Oh’s ‘straight and narrow’ persona. Do you support this taboo new couple?

Admit it: From the moment Ms. Oh (Cory Lee) entered Degrassi‘s hallowed halls, you knew it was only a matter of time before she got it on with a student — and she finally did just that with Sav (Ray Ablack) on last night’s episode! I chatted with Cory and Ray during a recent visit to Degrassi‘s Toronto set and they told me why they love their hot new storyline.

“Playing the normal Ms. Oh role is more of a challenge for me,” Cory admits. “Someone a little more straight-and-narrow, to the rules, very authoritative. [Getting to switch that up] was awesome.

Ray had some fun with the storyline as well, noting that the age difference between the characters helped Sav to grow… as a man.

“Sav’s always been this shy, not-able-to-look-people-in-the-eye kind of kid. I feel towards the end of this year, especially with Ms. Oh, he’s become a bit of a man from this ‘adult relationship’ he’s trying to maneuver his way through.”
